INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Senate Democrats on Thursday said Republicans are diverting too much of an increase in K-12 funding away from traditional public schools. Democrats told reporters a planned expansion of school voucher eligibility alone cordons off roughly $500 million that could be used for traditional public schools. Sen. Andrea Hunley, a Democrat from Indianapolis who is a former teacher and school principal, said 70% of the students who use school choice vouchers have never attended a traditional public school in the first place. She said lawmakers would be better off allocating education funding proportionately based on the percentage of students who attend traditional public schools versus charter or private schools. Hunley said families will especially see the impact of limited funding in services such as special education assistants and translators.
